Executive Summary of the Quarterly Activities: SO1 activities included continued (in close coordination with PHDPII TA) institutional support to ANNGO for review of the ANNGO Bylaw. A Legal Advisor Nat’l Consultant has been mobilized to provide capacity building to ANNGO BoDs on legal issues and facilitate the revision process. The Dari and Pashto translations of the first draft version of the revised ANNGO bylaw were provided to the ANNGO Board of Directors in October. ANNGO board members had the opportunity to continue discussions and the review of the draft document. During the ANNGO BoDs meeting on 24NOV14 some changes were discussed with PHDP TA. By the end of the reporting period, the draft remained under discussion within the ANNGO board members. Future steps include the distribution of the final draft among the NGA chairmen and a training seminar on the new legal responsibilities for the board members and all NGA chairmen. This should take place just before the GA currently anticipated in late January. Twenty five (25) SO1 Field Managers (FMs) are recruited (and seconded to ANNGO) to support the NGAs and their national representative organization ANNGO in implementing the certification scheme as well as provide MSNs and production nurseries with technical support and advice. FMs mainly supported the NGAs with the certified sapling sales to NHLP and conducted field visits to certified production nurseries (CPNs) in order to collect certification documents and provide them with technical support. FMs provided ANNGO with the label requests and ANNGO after completing the necessary inspection process completed the distribution of the certification labels to the NGAs. Currently they are collecting the fees. The FMs performed capacity building trainings in five (5) NGAs where in total 72 NGA members participated and received training mainly on seed stratification, labeling and sapling handling. PHDP TA (with the assistance of SO1 team) reviewed the draft English version of the ANNGO 2014-15 Catalogue and provided their feedback to ANNGO for improvements. ANNGO initiated the translation process into Dari and Pashtu during December with anticipated completion in early January before the review and finalization of the files for printing. Printing is expected to take place in early February 2015 after the ANNGO GA. ANNGO requested HPS to support them with the cost of the publication and HPS will support ANNGO with the related costs. We initiated a survey of the nursery companies that are not currently operating under the ANNGO umbrella. The assessment is anticipated to be completed by March 2015. We will coordinate closely with ANNGO on this and present ANNGO with our findings / recommendations that shall enable them to finally decide on their future potential expansion. Moreover, we initiated a NGA marketing assessment that could permit them in the near future to potentially prepare business plans. This is a potential service that ANNGO could provide to the NGAs in the future. In cooperation with ANNGO, the agreement for the ornamental sector pilot project (under HPS/SO1) that they would like to implement in cooperation with the Baboor Garden Foundation was drafted. The signature of the MoU is pending the decision of the new board of Baboor Garden Foundation. Description of the National Collection and the adaptive research activities continued in the PHDCs (under the MAIL Directorate of Research authority and PHDPII TA supervision) with the continuous support of the SO2 team. We engaged in reviewing the adaptive research protocols and participated in the preparation of the 2015 annual plan for the research activities. Moreover, we participated in the preparation of final reports on the trials’ results. Adaptive research activities were on going. Cross pollination trials in the apricot (Amiri) accessions shall be discontinued with new accessions to be selected for self-fertility if not previously assessed. Statistical analyses showed that the dose for the Gibberellin treatment in Shundakhani grapes was non-significant and this trial shall be repeated next year in commercial grapevine orchard/s owned by grape growers linked with HPS/SO3 in Shamali. A new trial (14-07) regarding the comparison of different citrus varieties on a range of rootstocks in Jalalabad has started. Trial protocols and trial assessment forms have been prepared for this long term (multiyear) citrus variety x rootstocks trial. Completion of the registers for the different species in the national collections remained the priority in the technical programmes (including HPS) under the MAIL Directorate of Research authority and PHDPII TA supervision. Work was on-going including further data collection on accessions and verification of previously collected data. SO2 main activities focused on supporting the preparation for the Apricot Register publication. At the same time the Pomegranate Register started to get developed too with all involved stake holders waiting for the anticipated arrival of the SO2 Horticultural Research Specialist Int’l Consultant (Gregory Cullen) to finally review the English draft document in February. Both these Registers will be published within 2015. Moreover, we anticipate that further Registers on Apricot, Cherry, This programme is funded by the European Union 3 | Page of 3 7 Pages HPS 4th Quarterly Report, 11-Feb-15 and Plum may also be published within 2015 pending the progress of work and data evaluation. The national collection of Apple is starting to bear fruits and the descriptors were revised in Kabul. The Loquat is flowering in Kandahar and the format for the description was prepared and shared with the PHDC FH. The Study Tour to Italy (Rome, Faenza and Florence) was successfully concluded on 04OCT14 with the return of SO2 Project Manager, SO2 Senior Adaptive Research Assistant and an ANHDO Board member back to Kabul. The participants increased their technical capacity in germplasm management, nursery production under a certification scheme, fruit production and marketing, including sensorial evaluation etc. The Interpoma Bolzano International Trade Fair in Italy in late November was considered a great opportunity for PHDPII and HPS to organize another complementary (2nd) Study Tour; to Italy (Bolzano) for Naseer Omarkhel (PHDC Kabul Field Horticulturist) and Popal Bashir (ANHDO Board member, fruit trader and exporter) to visit the AgFair Interpoma and the agricultural area around the provinces of Bolzano and Trento which is the most intensive apple producing area in Europe. Participants departed to Italy on 19NOV14 and the tour lasted nine (9) days giving them the opportunity to increase their technical capacities on intensive apple plantations, production technology, farmer associations and the extension services which in this area is considered a sector state of the art. Regarding SO3 team, we have completed the distribution phase of the post harvesting & processing tools / improved packaging to four (4) grape farmer groups, three (3) raisin producer groups and one (1) prune producer group totaling 319 individual beneficiaries (out of initially 433 selected) in Qarabagh and Farza Districts of Kabul Province, Bagram district of Parwan province and Mahmood Raqi of Kapisa province. We produced the post-harvest manuals for fresh grape, prune and raisin. The manuals will be used by the technical team during the course of the project and as well for training purposes. The manuals include post-harvest and HACCP good practices, drying standards and post-harvest losses. Further manuals will be developed in relation to the fresh and dry fruits & nuts that we will finally work with during the project. One farmer from each of the final eight (8) farmers groups that attended the Training of Trainers (ToT) seminar in Kabul in September were employed

Nilgün ATAY2 Ersin ATAY2 Fatma KOYUNCU3 ÖZET Elma dünyanın beş kıtası üzerinde yoğun olarak yetiştiriciliği yapılan bir meyve türüdür. Tüm dünyada elmada çeşit geliştirmeye yönelik çalışmalar çok uzun yıllar önce başlatılmıştır. Bugün, hem özel hem de kamu sektörü tarafından yürütülen çok sayıda çeşit ıslah programı bulunmaktadır. Yeni bir çeşidin ortaya çıkarılması genel- likle 15-20 yıllık bir süreci gerektirmektedir. Bununla birlikte, dünyada 6000’den faz- la kaliteli elma çeşidi olduğu bilinmekte ve bu sayıya sürekli yenileri eklenmektedir. Elma yetiştiricisi ülkelerin hemen tamamında bir ya da daha fazla elma ıslah progra- mı yürütülmektedir. Bu çalışmada dünyada yürütülmekte olan önemli elma ıslah programları incelenmiş, elde edilen bilgiler özetlenerek Türkiye’nin bu alandaki du- rumu değerlendirilmiştir. Anahtar Kelimeler: Elma, Islah, Çeşit SUMMARY A GENERAL VIEW TO CURRENT APPLE BREEDING PROGRAMS IN THE WORLD Apple is a fruit species grown intensively in five continents of world. Studies on apple cultivar development were started many years ago. Today, a large number of public and private apple breeding programmes are carried out all over the world. The release of a new cultivar usually takes 15-20 years. Nonetheless, it is known that there are over 6000 regionally important cultivars in the world and new cultivars are added to this number every year. Almost every apple growing country performs one or more apple breeding programs. In this study, existing apple breeding programmes were ex- amined; the gathered information was summarised and status of Turkey in this field was evaluated.

Although the majority of the Accepted 17 July 2015 research addressing fruit quality has mainly focused on the flesh, the multi-layered peel tissue complex Available online 11 August 2015 represents the first natural barrier of a fruit. In this study, a texture analyzer was employed to investigate the peel contribution on the general fruit firmness of apple, assessing a germplasm collection composed Keywords: by 65 accessions after two months of cold storage. This device generated a mechanical force– Peel contribution displacement profile from which a set of analytical parameters was derived.
